I'm wanting to learn to pregnancy check my cattle and sale barn cattle. Does anyone have any good schools that they know of out there or any suggestions. New to forum

Can't help you with the schools, Buck, but I can give you a big welcome to the boards!

Hello Buck
welcome
Check with your local college if they don't have a class they can tell you who does.

Buck...,
Welcome to the board.

Check with the semen guys in your area. Often classes will be scheduled nearby.

I learned in college, but I know most of the AI companies offer classes as well. Ours will even come out to your farm if you want.

Buck 492,

Here's a link to a PDF file frmo Texas A&M. It should what to look for and gives you a good idea of where things are at. I read this and practised on my cows after they were pretty far along. I was able to find the calf and where everything was at.

You use Genex? Talked to my boss about this but since they do all ultrasounds he said no to me learning. Maybe they'll teach me to ultrasound when they expand. ;-)
